Benefits

• Optimum control of machines requiring high levels of coordination and synchronization between axes
• Shared memory map architecture minimizes latency and maximizes machine throughput
• On-the-fly motion and gain set modifications minimize cycle and settling times
• Real-time operating system support reduces overall system cost by enabling deterministic usage of host processor for optimized machine design
• Tight coordination between motion and I/O via the SynqNet® network reduces machine development costs by providing real-time system visibility and motion optimization
